Procedure: Bakers Yeast A.) Add 2 tablespoons (9.85 ml) of bakers yeast to one cup (236.5 ml) of warm water. Bakers Yeast

Procedure: A.) Add 2 tablespoons (9.85 ml) of bakers yeast to one cup (236.5 ml) of warm water. B.) Add 2 tablespoons of sugar into the container. Sucrose or Fructose. Sugar

Procedure: C.) Pour mixture into a sports water bottle and seal tightly.

Procedure: D.) Attach tubing tightly to the end of the plastic water bottle. E.) Attach tube to container filled with cabbage water.

Procedure: Cabbage Water F.) Chop the cabbage into small pieces until you have about 2 cups of chopped cabbage. Place the cabbage in a large beaker or other glass container and add boiling water to cover the cabbage. Allow at least ten minutes for the color to leach out of the cabbage. (Alternatively, you can place about 2 cups of cabbage in a blender, cover it with boiling water, and blend it.) G.) Filter out the plant material to obtain a red-purple-bluish colored liquid. This liquid is at about pH 7. (The exact color you get depends on the pH of the water.)

This liquid is at about pH 7. (The exact color you get depends on the pH of the water.)

Procedure: H.) Place other end of tube into the cabbage water. I.) Make Observations about the colors of the cabbage solution, bubbles, and anything else.

Questions. What occurred in the cabbage solution? What was produced in the container with the yeast?

Questions. What occurred in the cabbage solution?

Questions. What occurred in the cabbage solution? The cabbage solution should change colors. The carbon dioxide gas coming through the tube changed the pH of the water.

Questions. What was produced in the container with the yeast?

Questions. What was produced in the container with the yeast? The yeast used the sugar and through fermentation created alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. The CO2 gas traveled through the tube into the cabbage solution as noted by the bubbles and pH change.
